Merlion

The water-spouting lion and fish statue is Singapore’s familiar symbol, seen close up at Merlion Park with Marina Bay as its backdrop.

Merlion

Why go

The fish body recalls Singapore’s maritime beginnings, while the lion head refers to Singapura, or “lion city.” Seeing the statue beside the bay connects that emblem to the modern waterfront it now faces; this is a brief outdoor stop rather than a full attraction.

What to look for

  • Lion head and fish body of the water-spouting statue.
  • Marina Bay skyline behind the sculpture.

Useful to know

  • View the statue from the surrounding park, then step back for the bay panorama.
  • Pair this short stop with the nearby waterfront promenade.
